128  He waiata; he pikitanga. Ka hari nga tangata katoa e wehi ana i a Ihowa: e haere ana i ana ara.

E kai hoki koe i te mahinga a ou ringa: e hari koe, a ka tau te pai ki a koe.

E rite tau wahine ki te waina hua, i roto rawa i tou whare: au tamariki ki nga mahuri oriwa, i nga taha o tau tepu.

Na he pera te manaaki mo te tangata e wehi ana i a Ihowa.

Ka Manaakitia koe e Ihowa i Hiona; a e kite koe i te pai o Hiruharama i nga ra katoa e ora ai koe.

Ae, e kite koe i nga tamariki a au tamariki. Kia mau te rongo ki a Iharaira.

Psalm 128

The Happy Home of the Faithful

A Song of Ascents.

Happy is everyone who fears the Lord,
    who walks in his ways.(A)
You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands;
    you shall be happy, and it shall go well with you.(B)

Your wife will be like a fruitful vine
    within your house;
your children will be like olive shoots
    around your table.(C)
Thus shall the man be blessed
    who fears the Lord.

The Lord bless you from Zion.
    May you see the prosperity of Jerusalem
    all the days of your life.(D)
May you see your children’s children.
    Peace be upon Israel!(E)
